The Magicians: Alice's Story by Pius Bak, Lev Grossman, Lilah Sturges

(From www.pingwings.ca)
I’ve been wanting to read this series for quite some time, but it was SyFy’s upcoming television adaptation that pushed me to read this book recently. I really want to check out that series, but not without reading the books first.
I loved the premise and had a very difficult time putting the book down – I just wanted to keep reading! But I can’t say that I loved this book, nor did I get too invested in the characters.
I think my favourite thing about this story was the way magic worked. Learning it was difficult and took work. It wasn’t just waving a wand and saying a couple of words. The world of Brakebills and magic was fascinating.
I’m definitely going to be reading book two!
